ADVANTAGES OF WINTER DAIRYING Dairymen practically all agree that a greater total amouut of milk Is ae cured when the cowa freshen In the fall, siiys a correspondent of Iowa Homestead. The real advantage comes from the stimulus of fresh graaa In the spring. In the case of spring cnlvlng the same ataae In lactation la reached at the time pastures dry up. Then aa the neutral tendency la for the milk How to fall off, the change to dry feed la made, which brlnga a fur ther reduction. Inatead of that, cowa that have freahend in the fall are turn ed oh spring pasture, and the flow kept up for some time. Twenty per cent aa the Increase In yearly production la probably none too high an estimation for the additional amount secured by that practice. Winter dairying haa other desirable features on the small farm or on the general farm where only a few cowa are kept It serves aa a meana of giving employment at least a part of the time for the owner and hired help. It relieves the work of milking and car ing for cowa and calves in aummer when Held work la moat urgent.

Heporta aeeui to Indicate that aa a result of the dlsastroua horse plague which visited Kansas and Nebraska laat fall hundreds of farmers are re placing horseflesh with gaa tractora aa furnishers of motor power. The beau ty of these Iron horses Is that they don't get their mils over the lines In tlyiline or their feet over the tugs, don't die of plague, glanders or blind staggers aud uever eat gasoline when not working. The writer beard it remarked the other day that the young felks of today do not have the fuu that they ned to twenty and thirty years ago aud that those of today do not stir abo it and akate and coast In winter and take part In other games during other seusona of the year as enthusiastically as the youug people did a generation ago. The writer has noted the same tend ency and believes the atateuieut to be In quite a measure true. The two big egg laybig contests which were conducted In Connecticut and Missouri during the year closing with Nov. 1 last seem to show lieyoud uuestiou that, considering the amount of feed con umed per e,g produced. the White I.egboma lead by a consid erable inai-'lu. Another fact that eeius to be quite concludvely proved la that thla - une breed excels both the Asiatic and American breed ' l0"1' to In the matter of wluter egg production. the labor throughout the year aud to give employment continuously. Also It makea farm work mora congenial. Where only a few cowa are kept the milking Is usually an extra Job to be done after the regular day's work in the fleld. Winter dairying cbaugea that, making a minimum amount of ullklug necessary in the aummer. Milk can b more easily cared for In winter Naturally cold weather makes It possible to keep the milk sweet foe S longer time and at lesa effort thau In Mummer. Most farms where only a few cows are kept are not aufflclently equip ped for aummer dairying. Less elabo rate ctjulpuient la necessary; hence the expeuae Iu thla regard la lass. Usually s lietter price is received for dairy products in winter. The total production la always less. The demsnd Is aa great. If not greater; cousoquent I) the Isw of supply aud demand de crees a higher price In winter. Winter dairying la uot without Its responsibilities.

On this i-iiiit probably more mistakes liuve boeu made thau iu regurd to any other A dairy cow Is using her IiIoihI and already digested food for the secretion of milk. In case she Is not provided with ample protection against rslu or cold she must slacken up on milk secretion and with that same material warm her body. It Is plain that she muat nave a warm place. It need not be expensive. Equally trne la the fact that docking water ehould be warmed. Cold, ley water, If ahe la compelled to drink It, must be warmed In her body aud by beat from the food ahe baa eaten, and that is a rather expeualve fuel. Grain and Quality ef Butter. The character of the food frequently liiilueuces the quality of the butter. The white, hard, taateless character of winter butter results from the food given. Kresh pasture, bright legume haya. corn allege and soiling crops give color to the milk and to butter. Gluten or com produces a soft butter.
